That was officially THE MOST DISAPPOINTING THING EVER.
FAIL, Castle. Oh, so much fail. I counted on you to walk up to cliches and tweak their noses, not follow them as if they were freaking instruction manuals.
I dunno, I think it would have been worse if they HAD jumped the shark . . .
I'm just so sick of this "Person A enters a relationship, then realizes they actually like Person B, who has just recently got into another relationship, rinse and repeat ad nauseum," when Persons A and B are obviously even to each other crazy about one another. And people claim spaceships require too much suspension of disbelief. That kind of crap was what put me off Bones, which until now I had been comparing Castle very favorably to. I totally thought the PTB would buck the cliches and not introduce these patently obvious plot devices, but apparently they lost their nerve. Dammit.
Skinner was FRIGGIN' AWESOME, though. I totally thought he was really a spy, and I thought he was hilarious when he crumpled at realizing he was really in jail. Hee!
I admit that I kind of liked Demming, although he too was a plot device. But at least Demming/Beckett made sense, unlike Castle/the-woman-he-spent-the-entire-series-taking-verbal-potshots at. Really? That's so convenient that you kissed and made up RIGHT THEN!
